Man Killed by Train While Trying to Help Woman
(May 15) -- A Brooklyn man died Friday after jumping onto the subway tracks to help a woman who was trying to fetch her jacket.

Fellow riders told the New York Post that Jose Gomez, 29, and Beatriz Briceno, 19, were traveling together near 36th Avenue in Astoria, Queens, when Briceno jumped onto the elevated tracks to get back her jacket. Gomez went after the teen and a northbound N train struck the pair, pinning them to the tracks beneath the third car.

"There was blood dripping all over and a lot of frantic movement underneath the train as firefighters tried to get them out," witness Bruce Williams told the Post.
